In a regular pyramid, the apex (the top point where all the triangular faces meet) is included in both the altitude and the slant heights. The altitude is the perpendicular height from the apex to the base, while the slant height is the distance from the apex to the midpoint of a side of the base, along the triangular face. Therefore, the apex serves as the common point for both measurements.

Is The slant height of a regular square pyramid is longer than its altitude?

Yes, the slant height of a regular square pyramid is longer than its altitude. The altitude is the perpendicular height from the apex to the center of the base, while the slant height is the distance from the apex to the midpoint of a side of the base. In a right triangle formed by the altitude, half the base side, and the slant height, the slant height serves as the hypotenuse, making it inherently longer than the altitude.
